Hm, but 403 should be a (remote) server response. Does LMS maybe also
try a different format?

LMS thinks it is a playlist not an audio stream and maybe trying some
unsupported HTTP header option such as some sort of seek.


Code:

Hello Pippin

You may remember way back in 2013, we had a good thrashing out of
Artist/Album Artist display behaviour for compilation albums, with you
and Michael getting your heads together. One problem turned out to be a
longstanding server-side issue and Michael successfully fixed it, to the
delight of several users (I believe someone called the fix a
miracle!).

Another problem however was iPeng-side and not a problem in LMS Web UI.
I believe you found the fix here:
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?51929-iPeng-support-threadp=750711viewfull=1#post750711
(see preceding posts for discussion)

A lot has changed since then however, the problem still persists for
me (iPeng 8.1.2) when compilation tag is set to 1, i.e:

Server settings: Use single, configurable list of Artists + List
compilation albums under each artist
Tags on FLAC files: Compilation = 1, Album Artist = eg Soundtrack,
Artist = e.g. Brian Eno, Iggy Pop, New Order, etc, 

Problem (a): in iPeng, go to Artists  Select the Album Artist e.g.
'Soundtrack'  Select the Album  the list of tracks all display the
Album Artist e.g. 'Soundtrack' and not the 'Track Artist' which it
should display e.g. Brian Eno, Iggy Pop etc

In fact, the problem has got 'worse' because what used to display
perfectly in iPeng now has problems:

Problem (b) : same server settings as above, in iPeng, go to Albums,
select the Album, the list of tracks now has some displaying the Album
Artist and some displaying the 'Track Artist' 

Problem (c) - change the server setting to 'Group Compilation Albums
Together'
- Whether go to Artists  Album Artist  Select the Album OR to Album 
Select the Album  the list of tracks now has some displaying the Album
Artist and some displaying the 'Track Artist' in identical pattern to
problem (b)

Would you kindly be able to try and replicate (and hopefully fix) this?
If you can't do it easily, then I can post back with more details/screen
grabs/test files as always. 

Thanks,
ff

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Spotify Premium Plugin (Beta)

2015-04-13 Thread ad6922

I am using this plugin for more then a year now. It works perfect.

Only the last couple of months I have the issue that my password for
spotify is forgotten
by the plugin.

It gives in the server log the following info:
Plugins::Spotify::Spotifyd::relogin (219) requesting relogin

Re-entering the password makes that it works again. I did that on friday
and had to do it again today.
I want to get rid of this. And I don't know what it is.

Some facts:
- I use Facebook login for Spotify
- My password for Facebook was 2 years old (changed it today, don't keno
if that has any influence)

Anyone an idea what makes that the plugin forgets the password?

No, what Michael concluded was that if I used the server menu I could
show it differently.
Yes, I could do that if I wanted to stop to also show all the other
information like duration, file format and so on and used the formatting
like Michael's App does.
But I'm not going to do that. If the server returns the wrong
information when I correctly query it that's a server issue, no matter
if some other method somehow _could_ extract a different set of info.

I actually thought he had fixed it back then, didn't we test that
later?
Might the current state be a regression that got in later?

Tagging is not the problem. Abcde uses eyeD3 by default. The input for

 If what the server returns as the track artist is not correct, where

 trackartist now, if it's not correct then that's how the server responds
 with a trackartist.
 
 This needs to be fixed on the server side. I think 7.9 is more flexible
 here, whether it's always correct is something I don't know.
 
 Which server version is this, BTW?

You did say this at first, but I understood Michael tested it with a
modded Logitech app and concluded it was not a server issue, and I think
he confirmed iPeng can display whatever the Web UI can, and the Web UI
does not have this problem and never did:

misunderstood what happened next - I thought you agreed and had tested a
fix.

If you think it is still server-side, I can upload some test files and
try asking Michael if he can spare some time to test again -  that way
we can know for sure?

I am using 7.9 nightly build on OS X (I have access to PC too).

If you are talking about my Live Text patch, it is using a BBC web site.
It's using the BBC's own URL that is used for the Browser based iPlayer

 As I've needed to touch a few files in the plugin, I'm posting a patch
 file (only applies to the BBCiPlayer-v1.3.1alpha3 plugin). The .patch
 file is for command line on linux or cygwin. Copy the file to the
 BBCiPlayer plugin directory, cd to that directory and type:
  
Code:

  
   patch -p1  BBCiPlayer-v1.3.1alpha3-Onair-v0.1.patch
   

  
 
 After restarting LMS check the settings - there is an extra one called
 'Show OnAir Text' which needs checking, and the 'Show Live Text' needs
 un-checking. 'Show Slide Show' will still work for displaying
 different artwork (on those channels that already had RadioVis).
 
 PS. I've also amended the menu.opml, adding a couple of missing
 stations and including some icon links for those that didn't have one.
 
 PPS. patch -bp1  BBCiPlayer-v1.3.1alpha3-Onair-v0.1.patch will also
 create a backup of the changed files. If you want to go back though,
 it's probably easiest just to un-install and reinstall the plugin.
 
 Edit: I've also added a zip of just the files that have changed, if
 the patch file is problematic for your system. Extract over the top of
 the existing BBCiPlayer plugin directory, replacing existing files.
 Make sure this includes the basic.html file which is buried in a deep
 path.
 
 Edit2: I've updated the .patch and .zip file to fix a bug for display
 on older players with VFD displays, and also adjusted the description
 of how to apply the .patch file, to make it clearer that this update
 does not just apply to linux - it will work on all platforms including
 windows and mac.
 
 I need to say that as I've now modified Triode's original code (which
 is allowable as it is GPLv2), he's in no way responsible for any
 problems I may have now introduced...
Hi utgg

Thank you so much for providing the On Air text .zip file. The
disappearance of  Live Text from the streams however many years ago was
a real disappointment. A number of emails to BBC tech types got no
where. Again, thank you so much for reinstating it. I really am in awe
of the people on these forums who have now got us an improved system
when so many others have completely lost theirs. All the best.

I don't know why the bit rate is only displayed in the Web interface. If

That said, I have a working iPlayer Alpha3 plugin setup and so does the
person that asked the question, so this dicussion is a bit pointless. I
see that My Music (which I hardly ever use) has an entry at the bottom
for Switch Library (which I never use), but the advice said nothing
about Switch Library it said select your LMS device which is very
ambiguous. I wasn't sure whether it even meant the server or the player.

The bit rate matters a lot to me. I will continue to use iPlayerExtras
to play Radio 3 Listen Again using 320kbps AAC over RTMP until HLS has
320kbps Listen Again. But it's actually quite awkward to check what the
bit rate is! I compared Radio 3 Listen Again at 128kbps and 320kbps
(both AAC) and the 320kbps clearly sounds better.

I have nothing against people with different preferences. It would be a
boring world if we were all the same. If you like live text and it's all
working, that's great.

I was a bit concerned that the live text patches seemed to be using
third party web sites that appear to have nothing to do with the BBC.
How likely is that to continue working?

 OK, thanks Joerg, I think I got it now: Logitech Web UI uses CLI

No. More or less the other way around :)
Technically, both use the CLI over JSON. But the Web UI and the Logitech
App don't query the library using the documented CLI but instead they
query a menu that gets prepared on the server side, including the full
text being displayed.

iPeng queries a list of tracks with information about the tracks, one of
these information types is the trackartist. That's what iPeng displays
unless there is no trackartist being returned, in which case iPeng
displays the default artist (another field iPeng queries) instead.

I don't know what the server uses to display the artist in this menu,
it's undocumented in the sense that there is only a way to get a menu,
you have no control over or information about _what_ is in that menu. It
could be track or a list of configuration settings or metainformation,
it's not typed. That's why it's not really useful for iPeng.
 
 I have just now tested LMS 7.7.2 I had left on my PC, and the iPeng
 result is the same as back in 2013.  LMS 7.9 on OSX adds those
 additional problems (b) and (c), so these may well be a regression.
 
Problems b) and c) probably happen on tracks where there is no track
artist at all.

I suspect the issue here is that there are too many possible
configurations and not all of them might be well-tested because it takes
so long to switch between them and do a rescan in the process.
I, for example, use two separate lists for artists and albumartists in
LMS 7.9 and I don't see your issues, I have all tracks in compilations
listed with the track artist.
And I unfortunately right now don't have the three hours to spare that
re-configuring, scanning, testing and reversing the configuration would
cost me (a scan of my library takes well above 1 hour over the network
from my LMS 7.9 Mac). Especially since there wouldn't be anything I can
do short of confirming or not confirming your observation.

You are using a recent LMS 7.9 build, right?

 
 I guess I should ask Michael about this? as you can tell I can offer no
 technical assistance other than user testing I'm afraid.

Yes, definitely. The Beta-Forum would be the right place for this.

I am using the latest nightly 7.9 build on OS X , downloaded today, and
test methodically with a test album/folder as the library.

The issue is the same with your server configuration use two separate
lists for artists and album artists. 

Are you sure you don't see the issue for FLAC compilation albums with
the tag Compilation set to value 1? This is specifically where the
problem arises. If there is no Compilation tag, or the value is set to
0, then the track artist is displayed correctly. 

The Album Artist tag is set the same for all files, and the Artist
tag is set for each individual track. There is no Composer tag.

additional problems (b) and (c), so these may well be a regression.

I guess I should ask Michael about this? as you can tell I can offer no
technical assistance other than user testing I'm afraid.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] BBC iPlayer rebuffering

2015-04-13 Thread whitman

Thanks bpa, and here's my answers to your questions.

Yes, the Mac mini is running LMS, and it’s connected by ethernet to my
router.

The audio format of the file-based music I play from iTunes is Apple
Lossless.

My two Classic players are connected wirelessly. I’ve never connected
them wired and I’m not sure I have the capability: I think their
situation would make this tricky.

I will test the stream you supplied and report back.

In the meantime, if anyone could help prod me in the right direction of
how to check CPU and network perf stats on a Mac, I'd be grateful.

 If you can't do it easily, then I can post back with more details/screen
 grabs/test files as always. 
 

I did already tell you the last time: I can do exactly nothing about
this. I can't make the server respond with different information.
If what the server returns as the track artist is not correct, where
should iPeng take other information from.
This needs to be fixed on the server side. I think 7.9 is more flexible
here, whether it's always correct is something I don't know.

Which server version is this, BTW?

Rebuffering often happens with live streams since it is live  It is
unusual with RTMP (i.e Extras) to rebuffer with Listen Again as BBC
usually can send a big burst of data before playing begins as the whole
program is available.

 I'm not sure how to check CPU and network perf stats.

I don't know about OSX tools

Can you describe you local network in more detail e.g. is Mac Mini
running LMS connected to router by wireless ?
What audio format is your file based music that you play ?

Are your players connected with wired or wireless connections ?
If they are wireless - can you test if you get problems if the players
are wired ?

As a test of an AAC stream which will need transcoding like bbc STREAM 
- can you play this Stream and do you get any rebuffering

Just with http I can play the stream with mplayer but get 403
forbidden on LMS which is why I think there may be something else is
going on related to mp4 stream formats.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] App to play audio from URL (.mp3)

Morning, I've searched the forum via Google and haven't found what I'm
hoping exists! I've extracted a URL from Mix Cloud and can play this via
VLC. Is it possible to stream this via a Touch or Classic? I'm aware
that there isn't a Mix Cloud app/interface.

Cheers

Strange issue here with Ipeng...

Selecting by Artist, I see a list of multiple names and artists I
don't recognise.
Turns out Ipeng is listing by Composer, not by Artist!

Is this an Ipeng setting or a glitch?

Thanks. :)

Yes, iPeng just shows what the server sends. And iPeng requests artists,
not composers (you can't even specifically request composers from the
server).

The how does one handle artist roles correctly discussion has been a
perpetual one (see the tagging sub forum and the LMS beta forum for
details), LMS 7.9 gives you more control by allowing a separate
organization by album artist.

It may not play with stamdard LMS on a Classic. 

The stream has a mime type of audio/mp4 but the LMS convert.conf file
does not have support for internet streams for mp4 - the conf file has
support defined for files.

 I find it strange that you get rebuffering with both BBC iPlayer and

 Are you sure rebuffering happens with both Plugins ?

Bpa, yes, rebuffering does happen with both plugins.

I'm not sure what to check for an issue with AAC transcoding, as you
suggest. What settings should I look for?

Does it happen with both Live streams and Listen Again on BBCiPlayer ?
Have you applied any patches to the 1.3.1alpha3 plugin ?

Since it is transcoding OK - the issue could be some sort of system
overload - first check CPU and network perf stats to make sure it is not
a system issue.

Yes, sure, just enter the URL under Radios-tune in URL... for the

For MySB you might have to create a favorite through the web interface
first, unless you are using iPeng which has a tune in URL entry field
also for MySB

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] BBCiPlayer Plugins - an alternative quick fix guide

2015-04-13 Thread Owen Smith

I'm now running the new faad.exe on my Windows Home Server v1 box. My
only player is a Duet Receiver so faad.exe is used to play all iPlayer
stuff, live or listen again. I'm running the official LMS 7.8.0
release:

Logitech Media Server Version: 7.8.0 - 1395409907 @ Thu Mar 27 20:19:17
CUT 2014
Hostname: ripnas
Server IP Address: 172.27.151.104
Server HTTP Port Number: 9000
Operating system: Windows Home Server - EN - cp1252 
Platform Architecture: 586
Perl Version: 5.14.1 - MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.34_01 (sqlite 3.7.7.1)
Total Players Recognized: 2

The second player recognised is SqueezePlay which I run on my laptop to
control the Receiver, but I almost never use SqueezePlay as an actual
player.

So far Radio 2 live is playing fine with the new faad.exe.
